The details of our visit

We explored Zadar on foot by ourselves. By the shoreline, lower left corner of the above map, we listened to the sea organ. The varying heights of sea waves caused pressure changes in subsurface chambers which were coupled to something which behaved as organ pipes.

We then visited St Anastasia's Cathedral and the Archaeological Museum, where we saw a reconstruction of a stitched framework boat that had been found sunk offshore.
